This guy is killing me...

This guy on the button just beat my pocket aces calling JTo 3 bets cold preflop (It's posted as "Gotta love action like this right?")

And now this...

Button is super loose, has played just about every hand and will go to the river with anything.

UTG has been Loose Aggressive Passive up to that point.

I'm sure you can guess the outcome but would you have done something different?

Why do you bet the river but not the turn? On the turn you have no reason not to raise.

I had 3 guys call my flop raise and then the flush card hits, I guess you could say I was a little wary. I bet the river because it seemed like a blank and I likely had the best hand...

bet the turn, bet/call the river

*blind post*
3-bet or fold (I would 3-bet against LAG) preflop.
Definitely bet the turn.

Flushes don't occur that often. This is an easy turn bet with position.

Button picked up a straight on the river.

My question is, does betting the turn punish an open ended straight draw at that point?

10 to 1 seems like odds are in his favorite to begin with, if he's gonna call anyway without knowing the odds are good what point is betting?

I guess my real question is, how does betting the turn in this position help my hand?

bet the turn for value man.

Don't worry about punishing you probably have the most pot equity, thus you should bet, because every dollar in the pot increases how much money you make.
